[0:10] Ha ha ha ha [0:21] So we moved to the evergreen neighborhood [0:23] about seven years ago, [0:24] and so that's when we started coming to this playground. [0:26] The new equipment looks great. [0:27] I love the shade features that they've added, [0:29] and extra picnic tables. [0:30] There's more swings, so that helps, [0:32] because usually there is a little bit [0:33] of a competition over who gets the swings. [0:35] This is such a big part of our lives [0:37] with the young kids to get out and, [0:39] you know, meet other families nearby [0:40] and everybody congregates at the playground. [0:43] So investing into this, I think, is so important. [0:50] My name is Josh Kinney. [0:51] I'm Parks Planner for city of Woodbury. [0:53] Evergreen East and Woodlane Hills [0:55] are part of a playground update in Woodbury [0:57] to refresh and enhance existing play spaces [1:00] to better serve the community. [1:01] These updates focus on modernizing equipment [1:04] and creating a safer and more engaging environment [1:06] for families and children. [1:10] We're at Woodlane Hills Park in Woodbury [1:12] and we’re installing a playground, kind of a little pocket [1:15] playground in the neighborhood here. [1:17] There's going to be a, a two bay swing here with tot seats [1:20] and then also belt seats as well. [1:21] And this is going to be, over here [1:23] you've got a sitting spinner. [1:25] The kids will sit down and spin around on it. [1:27] There's going to be a slide. [1:28] A double-wide slide is where the gentleman is. [1:30] And then in between connecting the two decks, [1:32] you'll have a tunnel slide, [1:34] which as you can kind of see it's been assembled [1:35] there and just kind of needs to be put in place. [1:43] The new playgrounds have prioritized safety [1:46] with updated, compliant play structures [1:48] that are safer and have better surfacing materials. [1:52] Accessibility has been improved with inclusive equipment, [1:55] ensuring children of all abilities [1:56] can play alongside each other. [1:58] I also like [1:59] how they have some more interactive features [2:00] that are throughout the playground, [2:01] especially at lower heights. [2:03] I can see there's like a cute carrot and [2:05] and butterfly that they can twist and turn around. [2:07] So I think they're going to have some fun [2:08] with imaginative play with that as well. [2:10] One great thing about these projects, [2:13] whether they be a playground or a park implementation project, [2:17] is that it really provides an opportunity for the residents [2:20] of Woodbury of all backgrounds and ability levels, [2:24] to really enjoy those park spaces [2:27] within the beautiful landscape of Woodbury. [2:30] We absolutely love going on playground tours [2:31] around Woodbury, and it's always on the kids [2:33] summer bucket list [2:34] of exploring a new playground is definitely [2:37] one of the things that they want [2:37] to do every single summer, [2:…
